The MBTIc Gauntlet 2008 Discussion Thread

Well now I have to go see WTF happened in the blue team.

I hope this is entertaining!

Blue Team deserves a daytime Emmy. The egos, the drama. That was spectacular.

In summary:



I'm off to CVS for some Visine and kleenexes.

Guys, if we were sitting around a table playing Monopoly, would we be acting like this? (Jennifer, you're not allowed to answer!)

I haven't behaved that way since 1996 or so, thank you so very much.
(And you're still bitter about the whole St. Charles debacle, aren't you?)

I wish I wuz an admin.

Wait a second, there wasn't some SEKRET Challenge Bonus Round going on involving creating your own inner team drama, was there?

Our team gets along fine.

LOL! Gimme "Boardwalk" or the Scottie Dog token gets it!

Monopoly can get pretty intense with the people I play with. My family plays for real money, and my wife uses extortion as a normal tactic (and no I'm not making any of this up.)

You're such an unlikeable person, Dana. I can understand why you were banned once before. But your personality is quickly resurfacing.

[Totenkindly]

Okay, guys -- take it to PM if you need to, but please knock it off here.

I noticed that SDM is now in Black so I guess all is well?

For new members, just throwing it out there but I remember both Ygolo and Beat expressing interest but the rosters had closed.

Also a suggestion to Haight, NPG, any other admin running the gauntlet --

Could we create a separate ''Challenge Submission and Voting" thread per challenge?

It makes it MUCH easier to find the entries, vote, and understand what's going on to the newbie who just joined MBTIc (or veterans who aren't checking the Gauntlet thread regulalry) if there's a dedicated space for entries. Basically a thread where the first post is a repost of the rules of the challenge and voting criteria for general membership. The next 4 posts will be reserved for each team entry ONLY. And *then* the smack talking can happen.

I think that will encourage and increase general membership participation as well.

I found shuffling the entries in a very active multi-page thread for Challenge 1 made it hard to find.

I am not in Black. As yet my complaint has not been fully reviewed.

Even though I'm not directly participating with the Gauntlet, it's not any fun to watch a good team implode. All the teams have great ideas batted back and forth and to see things spill out like this detracts from the spirit of the game.

This is just for fun. Please, don't take more seriously than it needs to be taken. All the teams have an excellent dynamic. When things get heated within the teams maybe the best thing to do is take a posting break for a few hours.

Yes, I agree. It's too confusing when the entries are in the middle of the thread.
